Ask a white dude!

You receive them daily, you're just accustomed to them because theyre a part of your normal lifestyle. If a store owner has 100 customers in a day. 50 of them are white in which 40 are polite and 10 are disrespectful, 50 of them are black in which 25 of them are polite and 25 disrespectful, that store owner would probably have a positive bias towards white people and a negative bias towards black people. White people are the benefactor of a positive stereotype on a daily basis while black people are still in a struggle to overcome negative stereotypes. Whether either of these stereotypes are deserved is a much longer conversation.

Complete BS.

Once you get out of the poorer areas and work in a corporate environment, skin color does not have the stereotypes that you speak of.

The facts are that all Americans have the same basic opportunites, but too many black Americans do not put out the effort to take advantage of opportunities available. Those who work in corporate generally do not have the same negativity that I see from those that do not.

Black immigrants seem to not have the same attitudes as those born here and do not seem to think that natural born blacks are disadvantaged.

Reality is that when you are born, we all start out with the same opportunity - the ability to create the life that we choose to work for. Your decisions determine if you reach your goals.

answering in the context of when it would happen. maybe the way i opened that answer, attempting to sound humorous, skewed it in a way that made me imply that it happens everywhere and all the time. I certainly do not believe anyone has an advantage over another.

DING DING DING!

White thugs are just as shitty as black thugs. There's a reason my parents' black neighbors live beside my white parents. They wanted it. They're still black, but they carry themselves like they want to get somewhere in life. Some may call it acting like a white person, but I call it acting with a desire to succeed.

It's easy for a black piece of shit to blame their shitty life on racism and preconceived notions from a white person, rather than their lazy, don't care, fuck the world attitudes. It's rare people point out when a successful black person carries themself properly, unless it's to poke fun or label them a sell out.

And it doesn't take a black person acting thuggish to get treated a certain way; a black person acting entitled because they're black or playing the victim will cause it just the same.

I don't see you as being a very bright person, but this was a bright thing to say. And I agree with it.

I agree, i think i must have worded my response poorly as i dont feel the point i wanted to make was successful.
